Sanford Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Sanford, FL

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Sanford home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Florida wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Florida and Sanford, and I recommend the following:

Florida Animal Remover
Cell Phone: 407-915-4714

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Seminole County Animal Services: (407) 665-5201



Florida Animal Remover specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Florida also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Florida Animal Remover is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Florida and Seminole County licensed and insured
  • Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
  • Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
  • Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
  • Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste

  • Florida Animal Remover is a full-service Sanford wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Sanford pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Florida Animal Remover performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

    Sanford wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Florida to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Florida law. We offer Sanford raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Florida Animal Remover. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Sanford squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

    Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Sanford exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Sanford rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Florida is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Sanford pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Sanford bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

    If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Sanford trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Sanford wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Florida Animal Remover does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Florida Animal Remover. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Florida Animal Remover also provides dead animal removal in Sanford. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Sanford snake removal - most of the snakes in Florida are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Sanford. And remember, we are a private business, not Seminole County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (407) 665-5201. Seminole County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Sanford Wildlife Tip #1:
    Snake Prevention Tips: How To Keep Snakes Away

    Snakes create major nightmare as it can be really dangerous to the entire family around the whole world. Though most of the snakes do not have poison still a single sight on your property is quite upsetting and getting rid of them is very important. There are various methods that can be adopted to get rid of this pest.

    Setting up Fence

    Fencing around the entire perimeter of the property can prevent snakes from invading your property. However first we need to decide whether an expensive or a cheaper fencing will suffice the need. Material used in fencing are usually wood or vinyl which are quite durable as it is installed into the ground and buried at least few inches. This type of fencing is expensive and might not be suitable for every house.

    Regular fencing is the other option which is done by digging a ditch at the base of the fence and then securing it with steel mesh of less than a quarter inch through the entire fencing into the ditch which is buried. Make sure there is no gap at the bottom of the fence since snakes can crawl and can squeeze through those tiny gaps.

    There is a cheaper option where a temporary landscaping is done with a hard or a soft material which needs to be buried underground.

    Catch net

    Catch net can be used which acts like a trap rather than a fence which usually does not work as snakes vary in size and only correct sized snakes are caught through this technique.

    Clean the yards regularly

    We need to keep our homes and yard free from clutters as dark and warm places are snakes hideout and breeding grounds. Yards should be free from piles of grass, leaves or compost, stacks of firewood and any other plants which can give shelter to snakes. Gardens should be regularly mowed and make sure that yards are not packed up with thick trees and shrubs.

    Use repellents

    There are some snake repellents which are available online or over the counter however it does not guarantee 100% effectiveness. Common repellents used are mothball flakes, sulfur, urine of some predators which are sold in solid form and high frequency ultrasound emitters. These repellents have toxic chemicals which are harmful for kids and pets at home. Natural remedies do not have any harmful effect on human beings as they are made up of natural ingredients like mint, hot pepper or cinnamon but they are hardly effective on snakes.

    Sanford Wildlife Tip #2:


    Florida Wildlife Information:

    Florida State bird: Northern mockingbird
    State mammal: Florida panther, manatee, dolphin
    State reptile: Loggerhead sea turtle
    State fish: Florida largemouth bass, Atlantic sailfish
    State insect: Zebra longwing

    Florida's climate is hot and damp, making it a prime place for reptiles, amphibians, and other semi-aquatic animals. There are a good number of raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, and rats, and it seems these common pest creatures plague homeowners in almost every state. In addition to the common property visitors, Florida also has four venomous snake species: rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, coral snakes, and copperheads. Because of how warm the state is, snakes are often out sunning themselves pool side. All reptiles are drawn to water, and because of the constant warm temperatures, many homes in Florida have pools.

    Snakes aren't the only creatures invading yards. Armadillos in Florida are capable of coming into a yard and digging a burrow in one night. While they rarely, if ever, invade the home itself, the damage these creatures can cause to a yard is impressive. If you've got to have one or the other, however, most people would take the armadillo over the snakes.

    While almost tropical in its climate, Florida is home to a massive expanse of swamp land known as The Everglades National Park. This huge plot of land is home to alligators, turtles, lizards, raccoons, rabbits, and snakes. The red tailed boa now makes the park its home, though the snake is not a native species of North America. This has caused some concern with the local wildlife authorities, as populations of smaller mammals have been steadily declining due to predation by the large serpents. It is expected that alligators and Florida panthers will eventually become prey for the invading species.

    Land-loving predators that are sometimes nuisances are primarily black bears. These large, intimidating animals have learned how easy it is to pick through human garbage and to raid campsites. It only takes a bear one or two successful raids before it becomes problematic. Coyotes are also a common nuisance predator in the state. Like the bears, coyotes become opportunistic, feeding off of livestock, pets, and human refuse.

    The population of Florida is growing annually, and it is a popular state for retirees. Eventually, more and more people will displace the animals of Florida, causing clashes. A good example of this is with the alligator population, which lives in many of the waterways, regardless of how close to human civilization. The alligators aren't fearful, so they hold their ground and usually must be removed by professionals.

    You can always call Florida Animal Remover, any time of day, at 407-915-4714, for a price quote for Sanford wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Sanford, FL.
